Using airplanes is necesary if you want to quickly travel far. But, not all airlines are the same, have same planes, seats. Also, airports have different standards. So, where to go, and which company to use?
http://www.airlinequality.com/ is a great page with many infos about airports and airlines. There are plenty reviews of airlines and airports, infos about best seats flying different airlines (watch the next time you book), seat pitch guides…
Actually, Adria Airways is a 3 star airline (out of 5) and the reviews are quite favourable.
http://www.seatguru.com/ is excellent site with description of seating arrangements in different planes and airlines.
For the ones who travel in style, http://www.flatseats.com/ is the place to go! It explains why old business sits in Lufthansa are not so good as the new ones.
And the last, but not least… general information about flying and companies, warnings, … http://www.uk-air.net/
Murchison Falls National Park, with 3,840 square kilometers is Uganda’s largest National Park. The park is cut in half by the Nile and its landscape varies from dense rainforest on the hilly ranges in the South-West, to undulating savannah in the North-West. The forest shelters many primate species, including Chimpanzees, while the river attracts various Antelopes, Buffalos, Rothschild-Giraffes and Elephants. Every little bay of the Nile rivers seems to be occupied with their bubbling and snorting sounds.On sandbanks huge crocodiles bask in the sun, and along the shores one can often spot elephants, giraffes, buffalos. Hippos can be counted in hundreds.
These gentle giants are slowly recovering from the brutal slaughter they suffered during the civil wars, when they were used as moving targets for the army’s artillery.
Philip Briggs has written an excellent article about the Murchinson Falls national Park.

Its very difficult to make a selection of the best photos… After 4000+ shot photos i tried to minimize everything just to 15-20 photos… And probably even not the best ones… But still… worth a try.
I tried mainly to focus on people and animals.
And warning… flash required… slow server and long download…
